Dear old Cabot, You are certainly the most loyal friend that ever hreathed. Edith and I were more touched than I can say over your letter; all the more so from Its absolutely unexpected nature. I hope you will tell Rlalne how- much I appreciate his kind expressions.* I would have particularly liked to have been in Washington in an of ficial position, while you were in con gress; we would have hail a very good time; and so I would have been glad to have been appointed. But aside from this feeling—and of course the pleasure one feels In having one's services recognized—It Is a good deal belter for me to say where I am. I would like above all things to go into politics; but in this part of the state that seems impossible, especially with surh a number of very wealthy com petitors. So I have made up my mind that I will go in especially for litera ture. simply taking the part in poli tics that'a decent man should. I am goiqg lo keep my residence in the city because I have more hold here.

I met Reed* today. He said he had been waiting to see me be cause he wanted to talk to the presi dent about you and said all kinds of pleasant things and went there and then to the White House, but the cabinet was meeting, so he goes again. He is a loyal friend and as true as steel. I have spoken to Walker Blaine about Buterfield and will look after him. Blaine told me that Evarts had spoken to him ahout you. saying you should have hand some recognition and be brought Into public life again. I tell you these things because I know you will like to hear them." I am harassed to rteathgnd If this accursed patronage does not kill me politically and de stroy my health and temper nothing will.
